Published on 25 July 2024
The Community Working Group participated in a workshop on 25 June, discussing land use, urban structure, and built form design considerations for the PSP.
The Town’s Floreat PSP development will be guided by a design review process that focusses on six key performance-based elements:
Urban ecology, including how trees are integrated into a future development; Urban structure, how shops and residents relate to movement and public areas; The design of the public spaces; Traffic and people movement; Land use; and, Built form, that is, the height and scale of new buildings.A critical aspect of the design will consider how to integrate activity, movement, and landscape throughout the activity centre hub to enhance movement and visual connectivity with the surrounding landscape and destinations.
The PSP aims to create a seamless transition between residential areas and the garden-like interface of the activity centre through well-planned urban design and landscaping. This approach will enhance pedestrian activity and mobility, integrating the Floreat Activity Centre with its garden suburb surrounding.
